Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Everyone

We pulled together our favorite stocking stuffer gifts for kids and adults alike, adding to the delight of Christmas morning.

Stocking stuffers for kids

Kids love small trinkets and edible treats. Here are some kids' stocking stuffers to consider when doing your holiday shopping: 

1. Small puzzles: A small puzzle (less than 100 pieces) can fit easily in a stocking and be fun for kids. Be sure it matches a theme they love, like superheroes or unicorns.
2. Activity packs. The dollar section at box stores often has a selection of activity packs that come with a few stickers, crayons, and a coloring book to keep kids entertained. These are great stocking stuffers for kids!
3. Action figures. A small action figure or doll can be a fun addition to a larger toy they may have received for Christmas.
4. Colored pencils or crayons. Additional coloring supplies are always welcome to help kids express their creativity. 
5. Stickers. What kid doesn’t love stickers to stick in inappropriate places around the house?
6. Chomplings variety pack. Chomplings are a mini version of our meat sticks. They come in a variety of flavors and are a favorite of kids, making them perfect stocking stuffers for kids. 
7. Drawing pad. A blank drawing pad can help spur creativity and is a great place to put all of those stickers. 
8. Fruit snacks. A few packs of fruit snacks or other sweet treats are an easy stocking stuffer idea for kids. 
9. Small books. Pocket-sized books can encourage reading and learning more about whatever topic kids enjoy.
10. Custom ornaments. A custom ornament with a child’s name can last a lifetime and be used year after year.
11. Card games. Think beyond the traditional deck and consider different card games the family can play all year.
12. Slime kit. Kids LOVE slime, moms feel a bit differently. But a DIY slime kit can provide endless hours of entertainment (as long as they do it outside). 
13. Pocket puzzles. Small puzzles like a Rubik's cube can be a fun addition to a stocking and keep kids busy for hours.
14. Matchbox cars. If your kid is into cars, a selection of small matchbox cars would be an exciting gift. 
15. Pez. A holiday-themed Pez dispenser is always a fun find in any stocking. 

For kids, stocking stuffers should be all about entertainment, and creativity, and personalized to their interests. Small puzzles, activity packs, and coloring sets can help keep little hands busy. But don’t forget the treats! Check out our Chomps recipes for treat ideas you can add to their holiday celebrations.
